Power outages – ‘keep an eye on your neighbours’

Scottish & Southern Energy are still experiencing problems with the network in areas of Shetland which is being hampered by the weather. The ferries are now running, which is allowing additional engineers into the islands to work on restoring power.

In the meantime, neighbours are being asked to look to the elderly or vulnerable in areas affected by the power cuts.

There is an improving weather forecast although it will remain cold for the rest of the day.
